Recent Project

Recent Air Conditioner Removal Project in East Memphis

In August 2024, EvoNorth removed a 3-ton central AC system from a 2,100 sq ft home in the Germantown area near Poplar Bluff Road. The 18-year-old Carrier unit had failed during peak heat and the homeowner was upgrading to a high-efficiency model. Our team arrived on a Monday morning, safely recovered R-22 refrigerant into EPA-approved containers, disconnected 40 feet of copper tubing and the outdoor condenser unit weighing 120 pounds, and cleared the pad in 5 hours. All materials were transported to a certified Tennessee recycling facility the same day, and we provided the homeowner with refrigerant recovery documentation for their records.
